Let's talk about this photo. It's cute, except it's not. I see a dog who cannot get up without telling the child to get off. How do you think a dog is going to do that?

The 7 Golden Toddler Dog Rules:
#1: If a dog walks away from you, you DO NOT FOLLOW.
#2: Always leave room for the dog to walk away from you.
---that right there is 90+% of dog bites eliminated---
#3: We do not climb on the dog.
#4: We do not grab or pull on the dog.
#5: We do not hit or throw anything at the dog.
#6: We do not touch the dog's food.
#7: We do not go into the dog's kennel.

I promise these are not overly difficult concepts for littles, nor will they rob a kid of their bond with the family dog. It will deepen that bond, while keeping everyone safe.

"Oh, it looks like Moose is walking away from you. She is saying she wants a break. Let's play with this instead!"

"It's Moose's dinner time! Let's give her space to enjoy her yummies."

"That is Moose's room(kennel) and only she is allowed to go in there."

"If Moose wanted a break, could she walk away from you right now? No she really couldn't. Let's move away from the play house. You can keep playing but now she can leave when she wants a break."

In conclusion, ***parent your child or your dog will do it for you, and you will not like how they do it.***

We see this a lot... pet parents searching for a pet sitter or dog walker, but the first comment is: "I'm looking for someone who doesn't charge an arm and a leg..."

When you consider the pet-care experience and specialized training professional pet sitters and dog walkers have and the customized care they provide, these pet-care professionals are worth FAR MORE than they charge.

Of course, you have to work within your budget, but lowest price does not mean the best option—and professional pet-care providers should be fairly compensated.

Remember, you get what you pay for—and your pets deserve quality care!

Celebrating Pet Sitters Week in a sweet way :)
I got a special delivery to my door from a very sweet and loyal customer who has supported my business since it's begining.
It makes my heart happy and it put a smile on my face knowing that I am making a difference.

I love my job and do so with much respect not only to the pets but also to their owners who day by day put their trust in me. From Drop in visits to Daycare/Boarding I have met wonderful pets who keep inspiring me and teaching me new things daily.

We closing this week thanking all my families who have chosen Wagging Tails & Loving Paws for your pet care needs and also Thanking ALL Pet Sitters NATIONWIDE who right now are serving many families under less than perfect weather conditions, rain, snow, wind, heat...We will be there fo your pets rain or shine because WE are professionals.
